He was responsible for mobilizing Jews in forced labour in the Polish city of Bedzin; he was the 'Jewish elder' in several labour camps in Germany; he was foreman in a tailor shop in which Jews were employed in making uniforms for the German army; and he was employed as a clerk in Auschwitz. He was indicted on four separate occasions for his deeds against other Jews in these roles
